To Everyone Upset About That PalmCon Article...

On Monday, New Times writer Allie Conti posted a blog item about PalmCon, a comic book convention in Palm Beach County. This post upset a lot of people from the comics/cosplay community.

Let us provide a little background and a sincere mea culpa from the editors.

Our blogs are a collection of viewpoints from our various writers. Most of the items are newsy, but we do run many different types -- opinions, rants, lists, etc. Ms. Conti attended the con and kicked in this blog post.

The next day, we got a flurry of letters and comments, and Ms. Conti began to be attacked personally on her Facebook. The comments ranged from thoughtful to hilarious, to nasty to absurd.

Some people alleged there were minors in at least one image. We have taken that all of the pictures down.
